Baugh William P, MD

OUTRAGEOUS PRICING to the tune of $ 68 per minute of Dr. Baugh’s time + COMPLETE DISREGARD FOR PATIENT SATISFACTION = never again returning to see Dr. Baugh.
I’ve been an acne patient of Dr. Baugh’s for over a year and actually like the regimen I’m on. I like his personally formulated cleanser & I’m on a few good scrips that keep my complexion mostly clear.
However, his arrogance & disregard for anyone’s time & money (except his own) ensure that I will not be back.
So here’s the straw that broke the camel’s back:
–Needed prescriptions refilled – when pharmacy reached out to Dr. Baugh, he said I had to come in to see him first. No problem!
–ALWAYS A LONG WAIT, so unsurprisingly: when I got to the office 5 mins before my appointment, I waited 30 mins to be put in a room, then 15 more minutes in the room for the assistant to come and update my chart, then 10 more minute to see Dr. Baugh.
–I only saw Dr. Baugh FOR LESS THAN ONE MINUTE! (no exaggeration!) It went like: «you’re here for prescription refills? Ok, I’ll send in assistant to process that“and he left. Did not ask one question about my skin, whether I’m happy with the regimen or my complexion or anything like that. He did not care to check in with me at all.
CLEARLY DR. BAUGH JUST CARES ABOUT MAKING MONEY FROM OFFICE VISITS, so he overbooks patients, effectively wasting our time and money to see him for less than 1 minute.
I even reached out to office manager saying how disappointed I was with that treatment, but after consulting with Dr. Baugh, his final word was that my experience was a «justified office visit charge.»
So farewell Dr. Baugh. I don’t recommend him at all unless you have limitless time and money. There is one other dermatologist working in the office with him (Dr. Jessica Hsu). I will try her next time, or go to a different derm altogether.

I just went to see Dr. William Baugh in Fullerton for a consultation for the Cellulaze procedure.
It is a procedure that reduces the appearance of cellulite.
Dr. Baugh did the procedure for me on the back of my legs several years ago and they still look great. This time I am going back to have the procedure done on the front of my thighs.
I have been a patient of Dr. Baugh’s for over 15 years and I couldn’t be happier.
I have had him remove a cancerous lesion from my arm through the Mohs procedure and I try to regularly see him for my annual skin cancer examination. He has also done a few other cosmetic procedures for me and I have been extremely happy with the results.
I highly recommend Dr. Baugh and he is my go to doctor for anything related to my skin.
In fact his entire staff is amazing and I visit Rosie regularly for microdermabrasion and medical facials. She is fabulous and my skin has never looked better. I have referred my sister, daughter and daughter in-​law who are now regular patients of Dr. Baugh’s and they also see Rosie whenever they can.

I went to many dermatologists before a lady at the make up counter referred me to Dr. Baugh for my acne. Yeah, it was so bad I received unsolicited referrals. I get so many compliments on my skin and complexion. People can’t believe I ever had acne. I use the ointments he prescribed at night and don’t have to think about anything else. Dr Baugh explains everything and takes his time to make sure he answers all your questions. I really don’t understand the bad reviews. I’ve seen many doctors for various health issues and I’m extremely picky. I love that he only has me come in once a year to check up and gives me plenty of refills. He also comes in on Saturdays sometimes if you can’t make it during the week. Great doctor!

I’ve been seeing Dr Baugh on and off now for approx 2 years. He doesn’t have the friendliest personality but he’s not rude. My complaint is about their outrageous pricing for laser hair removal. Ladies, there’s a reason why the prices aren’t listed online. I wanted the hair removed on my lower leg. I knew going to a derms office would cost most than a medi-​spa but for the love of God his prices are asinine. The medi-​spa I usually go to (Burbank) charges $ 80 for the lower leg. Well Dr Baugh charges $ 100 for a skin patch test and then $ 750 per treatment. No, that’s not a typo. Its $ 750, but you can buy a packet of I believe 6 treatments for $ 2025. And once, again, that’s $ 2025.00. Run fast and far away from this office for any and all treatments. If its not covered by your insurance, go somewhere else. Looks like Im going back to Burbank: sigh:

I took my daughter to see the doctor and it was an absolute horrible experience. We waited for an hour to be seen. We had specific things to discuss with him and he didn’t even pay any attention to what our requests were. He then talked about prescriptions for her that included medications that she is allergic to. After mentioning her allergies which were noted on the paperwork that was filled out prior to being seen, he got extremely defensive. I would not recommend him.

I have been seeing Dr. Baugh for about 6 months now. I am 28 and have hormonal acne from coming off birth control. It is the worst acne I have ever had in my life. Hug cysts and it is all over with no relief. Since seeing Dr. Baugh my acne has cleared up 95% there is still the occasional pimple from time to time, but no where near what it was. I was very skeptical the first time going to see Dr. Baugh because I had read the reviews on here. But when I started to call around to places everyone was telling me their first appointment was at least a month out. However when I called Dr. Baugh they said they could get me in within the week. So I decided to try him out and I am glad I did. He is a really great doctor. My husband and I are trying to conceive so I wanted to make sure I knew everything he was prescribing me and the side effects. He spent lots of time explaining everything to me and responding to all my question. He made things very visual for me, which was awesome because I am a very visual person. He also gave me lots of samples to try first to make sure what he was giving me worked before I would have to spend my own money on the prescription. I have since referred 2 people to him and will continue to refer more. Now the only downside and why I took away one star is because of his staff. They don’t seem to have the best attitudes for the profession that they are in. But maybe that’s because I am in a similar profession and expect people to always be warm, welcoming and polite especially when dealing with a sensitive issue. It’s really like pulling teeth with them. But really the only thing I care about is having a doctor that knows what he is doing, is on time and is friendly and you will find all that with Dr. Baugh. PS. he does Saturday appointments, this is a LIFESAVER for me!

I was unfortunate to be referred to Dr. Baugh by my parents and I visited his practice to have a suspicious looking mole on my back removed. After the removal, I was contacted a week later stating it was precancerous and I needed to have surrounding tissue removed to ensure the cancer didn’t spread. I subsequently went in for a 1.5 hour surgery and experienced discomfort during the procedure. I have had several moles removed in the past and never experienced the level of unpleasantness as this occasion. I was having electric shock type feelings going down my legs and mentioned it to Dr. B but he excused it as normal nerve reaction.
I returned the following day for a follow up to check my sutures, and the nurse literally ripped my skin right off along with the bandages. I looked like I had red burns from a torch that took weeks to heal. To make matters worse, after the bandage mishap, I sat in the patient room with a gown on for over an hour after the nurse left. Why I waited an hour is beyond me, but I walked out of the patient room to surprise the receptionist because apparently everyone in the office went to lunch. The receptionist made a frantic call and the doctor came out and made up an excuse claiming he was called into surgery as he was still chewing on his last bite. Really? You had an emergency Botox injection or mole removal and were held up on your lunch? Please! Just be honest and apologize, don’t insult my intelligence.
Fast forward to trying to live with a 5 inch long scar that looked like I had been stabbed with a jagged knife that drug down my back. Before the surgery, Dr B made a point to brag how it would be a barely visible fine line that would blend with my shoulder blade. Uh, nope. I ended up getting a tattoo over the scar because I was extremely self conscious over how ugly it was.
Over all, he is pretentious and has zero people skills. Not to mention the most important aspect, he is not a skilled surgeon by any means and wins the botched award for the ugliest surgery scar I have.

My experience at Doctor Baugh’s office was just shy of awful. First off, yes I do realize there is usually a wait at any doctors office but he over books his patients and then rushed through my appointment as if I was an inconvenience. This was my follow up appointment with him concerning a few breakouts on my chin. Yes, my skin did clear up after the first month of using what he prescribed after much soreness and peeling (which he did mention would happen). When I tried to convey that I worked in the makeup cosmetic industry and couldn’t have my face peel like that anymore he failed to offer me something different because he said I wouldn’t reach clear skin by taking an alternative oral pill. I understand the process it takes to create long lasting great skin but I DON’T EVEN HAVE ONE PIMPLE so no I am not going to put my skin through another month of hell. On top of that he gave me like 6 different products and didn’t even tell me what they did. My chin is now stained because of how harsh the products were. He rushed through the whole appointment, didn’t listen, and I didn’t get to ask all of my questions. he had the nurse write down the new regimen and then quickly walked out. So I quickly walked out and DID NOT make another appointment.

I saw him a few years ago and he was great really listened to whAt u want and concerned about. He really does draw you a picture of what’s happening under you skin and it helps u understand what is happening. Then he draws what his goal is to control the acne. And I read other reviews and he does answer questions and concerns you have, on top of that he ever looked at the makeup I wear to make sure it wasn’t making my acne even worst. He told me what products are good and If i cant get stuff at his office he gave me alternatives that work. Also he make an AMAZING!!! Cleaner he makes with a compound pharmacy and it is amazing I still use it.
Second Rosie I amazing I had a microdermabrasion and it was amazing I want to continue the treatments a lil pricy
but worth it !!!

Let’s see. Where to begin. I’ve been seeing Dr. Baugh for almost 5 years probably longer. The first time I saw him was when I started breaking out and getting acne in my T Zone around the age of 16. He helped me clear that up and my face was looking good, for a period of time. Now in my 20’s I started breaking out again but this time my face looked worse. My face was red, pimples, dark spots everything! It was awful. Dr. Baugh eventually had me on 7 different creams/​medications for my face and NOTHING had been working. Every month I would go in there for a check up and he would tell me the same thing (I thought of him as a programmed robot). I let him know multiple times that I wasn’t happy with my progress but he still kept me on the same régime and told me to ‘hang in there.’ At this point it had been 6 months of the same régime granted 1 or 2 changes. After being unhappy with my progress, I finally decided it was time to see a new dermatologist and I’m SO GLAD I did. I now go to Yorba Linda Dermatology and Dr. B is awesome! Within 1 month I saw a major difference in my skin and now that is has been about 3 months… my skin is getting better and better each month. I even get compliments on how great my skin is. Dr. B is so nice and actually takes the time to listen to how you feel about your acne. And guess what? If you aren’t happy with it, he says ok… lets fix it let’s change some things.
Dr. Baugh is a nice guy. I love how his office is so modern and I still go there for facials and other treatments but I wouldn’t see him for my acne ever again. Maybe he works for you and maybe he doesn’t. But I highly recommend checking out Yorba Linda Dermatology.

I began seeing Dr. Baugh when my oldest daughter had cystic acne. It took hard work and diligence on her part, but to this day, (8 years later) she still gets daily compliments on her gorgeous skin. I have had laser treatments with age spot removal, and yes, it initially looks like a burn, but that passes and I am left with skin that is so much better. My family has seen him for many issues, from warts to skin cancer; and he has ALWAYS been extremely professional and kind; but more than that, I can trust him to take care of the problem. We currently see him often for my son’s acne. We tried everything, and Dr. Baugh ended up putting him on Accutane. I think if my son would have followed Dr. B’s instructions though (like my daughter did), that could have been avoided. But, the acne is now clearing up, so again — THANKS DR. BAUGH! We have never had any issue with rudeness, hidden fees, or any problems at all. I recommend Dr. Baugh all of the time, and I don’t do that lightly. –Jeanne

DR. BAUGH IS AMAZING! I have been to his office multiple times over the past 8 years. Dr. Baugh is extremely knowledgeable in his field. He has performed different procedures on me and helped me clear up my adult acne. Because I had a bad experience of being burned with a laser elsewhere, I get a bit apprehensive when trying new methods. Dr. Baugh has ALWAYS been very kind and patient with me. He explains everything thoroughly and makes sure I am comfortable with my decisions. Since I had such good results I decided to have Dr. Baugh examine my two teenage boys. He cleared up their acne and always made it enjoyable for them. He really cares about his patients and it shows in his wonderful, humorous attitude. He can relate well to both adults and teenagers. THANK YOU DR. BAUGH FOR THE EXCELLENT SERVICE OVER THE PAST 8 YEARS!

I have gone to see Dr. Baugh off and on for about 10 years for different skin issues. He has the BEST bedside manner of any doctor I know. He even takes the time to sit down and draw pictures for you to explain exactly what is happening. I have had acne treatment as well as treatment to burn marks off my skin. I have had laser treatments, skin peels, etc. He haHe is the kindest and most knowledgeable in his field and if you are looking for a dermatologist who actually CARES about what you are experiencing and will take the time to go over all your options thoroughly with you before making a decision, Dr. Baugh is your man. He is the best!

I saw Dr. Baugh over a year ago for a non-​acne bump on my face. My initial consultation was fine. However, I get occasional break outs on my face and Dr. Baugh asked me if I would be interested in acne treatment. I declined and told him that I was not interested. He proceeded to ask if I wanted free samples of a new acne treatment. I declined again. He asked again, so I took them.
A couple months later I received a bill from his office for «acne treatment,» which my insurance had declined to pay for. At this point, I was slightly annoyed but figured I would call the office and quickly straighten it out. Wrong. The office/​billing staff claimed that Dr. Baugh provided a «consultation» on my «acne,» which simply wasn’t true. They were unhelpful, and at times, rude. I got the run around from their office. It took over a month for this issue to resolve after several calls to the office and with my insurance company.

I have never experienced a more humilating, condescending doctor in my life. Dr. Baugh has absolutely no respect for what his patients have to say about their body, their condition or overall factors in their life that may be contributing to the aliments he is being intrusted to treat. Dr. Baugh was far more interested in me solving the riddle of my skin disorder rather than him actually examing my skin and engaging with me as a partner in my healing process. He became frustrated with me when I said he wasnt connecting with me and basically couldnt wait to leave the session.
I have no solution for my problem, but I do know I will never see Dr. Baugh again.

I’ve been going to Dr. Baugh for almost a year now. I am kind of surprised at the negative reviews that can be found down below. When I found Dr. Baugh I felt like heaven opened up and angels could be heard singing and light shone down from up above… I was elated! Not only did Dr. Baugh take the TIME to listen to me gripe about my mild to moderate acne but he actually took out some paper and a pen and drew me a picture so I could understand what acne is and how it progresses and how it gets better. He then drew out my treatment plan in steps and told me we were starting out at the bottom level and would eventually work our way to the top. Well that’s exactly what we did. After my first visit I had such bad drying and peeling and flaking and redness that I was mortified, so I set up another appointment and AGAIN he spent at least 20 minutes with me and drew out another diagram and assured me this meant my skin was getting better. After 3 months I believed him because not only was my skin clear I was getting compliments on how supple and vibrant my skin was and how my face was glowing. Whoa. That’s a big jump from the comments I knew people were thinking when they saw my skin prior to treatment.
Dr. Baugh didn’t really want to hear about my past history of acne or treatments and to me that just expressed confidence in his method and expertise and assured me that he knew what he was talking about since he could diagnose and treat so quickly without much info from me. And now after almost A YEAR OF CLEAR SKIN I can say that Dr. Baugh not only knows his stuff but he’s swimming in a pool of acne busting knowledge and is ready to dish it out, and it’s usually served best cold so don’t take things so personal when he doesn’t sound interested in your long and boring history of failed treatments. He knows what works and is going to prescribe that treatment to you but it’s up to you to stick with it and not give up when your skin starts to look worse before it gets perfect! Go to this dermatologist if you want to get your acne cleared at a great price (cash patient here)! Don’t go here if you want a friend that wants to spend an hour talking about your poor condition, wah wah.
(Ps. this place rocks it out with the samples. When they found out I was a cash patient they HOOKED ME UP with not a few samples but about a box of samples of one product, a zip lock bag full of another and a handful of another. Who does that? This office is not stingy with samples and are happy to get them off their hands. Their samples saved me a lot of money once I ran out of insurance and could not afford the $ 500 Ziana that fell from heaven into my hands to clear my skin. BTW, Ziana’s website has a program where uninsured can get 3 60gram tubes for $ 50 bucks each which is a steal!)
Thank you Dr. Baugh for your professionalism, competence, expertise and eagerness to clear my skin before my wedding. You rock and I tell every one I encounter that mentions my skin or their bad skin about you and always send them your contact info. You were an answer to prayer Dr. Baugh, you have a patient for life now. :)

I am writing this review for my mother because she isn’t the most technologically sound person on this planet. I found a need to post this review because I can’t believe in the actions of this particular «professional».
This doctor was referred to my mom by a friend of hers who worked with alongside him in the marketing business. She aired his radio commercials. My mom thought that since her friend had spoken so highly of him that she had to give him a shot to get rid of her sun spots. BIG MISTAKE.
My mom paid $ 800 to have the sun spots removed. Dr. Baugh not only burned her skin, but the spots are still there. Huge waste of money here. I told my mom that she should have complained to him about it and still should, but this happened almost a year ago so she feels that too much time has gone by. I believe that since this man considers himself a professional, he should take much pride in his work and in doing so, should reimburse a full refund to anyone that is not satisfied with the «work» that he does. Please do your homework and seek out other options for your dermatological needs and do not waste your money here.

I too had very high hopes for this office. However, I would definitely not recommend this doctor. He did not have any interpersonal skills, and I could not discern any respect, interest, or concern. He did not seem to listen. Usually doctors want to know the history of the condition you are presenting for, but not in this case. Several times during my visit, as I was describing the history of my condition, he said «that does not matter to me.» Wow, what kind of doctor says that to a patient? That may be his overall attitude, if he believes something is not relevant, but I was not rambling on about irrelevant things. He would be well served by working on his «delivery» and «bedside manner.»

Dr. Baugh is pretty good. I have Kaiser now and miss seeing a dermatologist that I can go to for cosmetic issues that insurance will pay for.
Dr. Baugh is a nice man and is honest too. I have facial hair from a pituitary gland tumor, which was misdiagnosed for years. I asked him about laser hair treatments at a visit and he honestly told me that he didn’t think it would really help and told me what he thought the problem was. He recommended that I see an endocrinologist, which was right on. I did some treatments despite his warning and was pleased that he even numbed me so that I’d quit screaming… (Lasers hurt…) What I found disconcerting was that one of the medical assistants in the room said to me once the doctor left was that I should try threading instead of this! Um, yeah… I hope the doctor’s staff reads this and knows that their assistants do try to talk people out of cosmetic procedures.

I originally started seeing Dr. Aston at this office, but he doesn’t work on Friday. So, they put me with Dr. Baugh. Dr. Baugh is more into modern dermatology. He does a lot with the new technology (anything that has to do with lasers, is his expertise). I seen him for acne, mole removal, and a scar. My face is completely clear. The moles are gone and the scar is flat and healing great. And my other scar is almost gone. Dr. Baugh is very friendly and very smart. He is a great doctor, he really knows what he is doing. I would highly recommend him!
BTW. Dr. Baugh & Dr. Aston are in the same office and they are both great doctors. Main difference: Dr. Baugh does lasers and Dr. Aston doesn’t.
Tip: This office is PPO only.
